SEDCrocket at MouseOwners.com found a very interesting filing by WDW with the South Florida Water Management District, for a new construction project at the Grand Floridian.
Reading though the plans it looks like this is may be the rumored DVC property. I've attached the site plan filing below.
The technical specs indicate that they will fill in about an acre of Seven Seas Lagoon to construct this, and offsetting expansion of Bay Lake will be made.
If you would like to see the full application, you can go to www.sfwmd.gov and search for permit # 110307-4.
Never argue with stupid people. They just drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience. I will believe it is a crisis when the people claiming it is a crisis start acting like it is a crisis.
I prefer to let George Lucas disappoint me in the order he intended.
I could be all wrong, but what struck me was the perfectly symmetrical cross shape of the proposed building. Could it be a chapel for larger weddings or multi-denominational church services? Any idea if it's a single floor or multi-floor building? That would be the telling detail.

There is nothing in the plans I can find that indicates the number of stories of the building. But, that is not surprising, since this was a filing focusing on the water impact.
That being said, this is highly unlikely to be a church or wedding pavilion. I can't see any reason for Disney to be building a church. That would make no sense at all. As for a wedding pavilion, the amount of square footage for the building makes that unlikely. I would also be very surprised if the weddings were bringing in enough revenue to justify the level of construction that this involves. Filling in an acre of lake to build a building? That's not cheap.
If this isn't DVC, the only thing I can think of that would explain a building with this large of a footprint would be convention space.
